I shared my new idea.
After all, with two sets of demonic dao clothes and waist tokens in hand, it would be a waste not to use them.
When the others heard me say this,
It seemed they felt the proposal wasn't bad.
After a moment of thought, my uncle nodded:
"This is feasible, having two plans in case of the unexpected..."
Yunxia Gu also nodded:
"Then who will pretend to be a demonic dao and who will pretend to be a zombie?"
Before any discussion, my uncle made the decision:
"Let the three of us men play the zombies!"
To impersonate zombies, we would have to wear those smelly zombie skins.
And we'd need to do some disguise, which wouldn't look good.
My uncle was considering Yunxia Gu and Xia Qiu Xi.
As for me and Old Mo, we didn't mind and readily agreed.
Yunxia Gu and Xia Qiu Xi didn't refuse either.
Once decided,
The five of us began to act.
The three of us started to cut the zombie skins, while Yunxia Gu and Xia Qiu Xi were busy taking off clothes on the other side.
Even though these were the lowest-grade zombies, their petrified skins were still quite tough.
For ordinary people, with ordinary knives, it was very difficult to pierce their skin.
We were different. Using peach wood swords, infused with dao energy,
The peach wood swords became extremely sharp.
With a "sizzling" sound, we quickly peeled off large pieces.
The smell was truly pungent, nauseating.
But there was indeed a small amount of residual corpse miasma on them.
We tied these zombie skins around our chests, thighs, backs, and arms with ropes.
Then we put on these blackened, foul-smelling tattered zombie clothes for disguise.
However, this was still not enough.
The exposed skin also needed to be smeared with black mud.
We made ourselves look particularly dishevelled.
Our hair was also messy, stained with zombie blood.
It felt as if we had fallen into a pit of rotten flesh.
It was extremely unpleasant.
But no matter how unpleasant, we had to endure it.
After doing all this, I took out the Yin Gathering Bead.
Injecting a little dao energy, I activated it.
A small amount of dao energy infused into the Yin Gathering Bead would release a small amount of Yin energy.
Thus, the Yin miasma and corpse energy of a zombie was preliminarily formed.
Although very weak, as long as it suppressed our own living aura,
It would be difficult to distinguish the real from the fake from the outside.
"Alright."
"Master, do I look like one?"
Old Mo raised his hands and hopped a couple of times as if to demonstrate.
I smiled.
My uncle also nodded:
"Not bad. From this moment on,
The three of us are zombies. We must not reveal any flaws."
"Understood, Uncle."
"Don't worry, Master."
We both replied.
Yunxia Gu and Auntie Shi also walked over by this time:
"Are you ready?"
We looked up.
We saw that Yunxia Gu and Xia Qiu Xi had also completed their disguises.
But they had made themselves look much uglier. Originally, both were quite fair-skinned,
But now their skin was painted much darker, with even many spots added.
"Alright, your disguises are quite good! You look a bit like witches."
Yunxia Gu gave my uncle a glare:
"You aren't much better. Since you're all ready, let's leave quickly!"
Everyone nodded.
They quickly disguised the zombie and demonic dao corpses, sealing them with talismans.
This was to prevent any scent-sensitive corpse demons or malevolent spirits from smelling the blood of the demonic dao corpses.
After finishing this, Yunxia Gu picked up the corpse-herding bell.
The group began to proceed westward, continuing their journey.
However, we didn't just hop all the way. Since there was no one around, we continued to move stealthily.
Only when we were forced to reveal ourselves in certain places did we imitate the zombies and hop.
During this time, we encountered a patrol of fierce ghosts once again.
We still didn't dare to appear, hiding carefully.
Only after those fierce ghosts left did we emerge.
It took about two hours, and we finally arrived at the woods west of the Demon Palace.
From a distance, apart from the occasional hopping zombies and patrolling fierce ghosts, we didn't see any immediate danger.
But to be safe, we observed from afar for over ten minutes before starting to move.
Very cautiously, we kept approaching the broken wall.
However, when we reached the broken wall,
We discovered that this place was different from what it looked like from afar.
Although the broken wall was connected to the mountain forest,
From a distance, it appeared undefended, even weak, the easiest place to infiltrate.
But now, up close, we discovered that
At the base of the approximately twenty-meter broken wall, there were some unknown monsters crawling back and forth.
Those monsters were about the size of humans, skinless, and moved on all fours.
A forked red tongue kept swaying around their mouths.
There were eight of them, currently alternating, moving back and forth.
Not a single gap was left.
Furthermore, on one side of the broken wall,
There stood two demonic dao practitioners, conversing in a corner.
"Damn, there's a guard here!"
I frowned.
The others also wore grim expressions.
"Master, how do we get in now?"
Old Mo asked in a low voice.
"Let's observe first!"
My uncle replied.
Even he didn't know what to do at this point!
If it were just a few monsters guarding, we could still find a way to deceive them.
But with demonic dao practitioners and monsters guarding together, it became quite tricky.
Just as we were pondering how to enter the Demon Palace,
From another direction, a patrol of zombies appeared.
Driven by two corpse-herding demonic dao practitioners, they were hopping towards the guarded broken wall with "thump-thump-thump" sounds.
But as soon as they got close, those patrolling monsters let out two low "wooo-wooo" growls.
They swarmed forward, surrounding the patrolling zombies and demonic dao practitioners.
Their noses "shui-shui-shui" sniffed continuously.
Saliva "drip-drip-drip" fell onto the ground...
The two chatting demonic dao practitioners also became serious.
Cautiously, they called out:
"Waist token; password..."
